11 Life Lessons Everyone Learns Living In Hawaii

Hawaii is a magical place to live or visit, and an even better place to grow up. Whether you’ve lived in Hawaii your entire life, or have recently moved to the islands, there are a few life lessons everyone who lives here learns – regardless of if they are five years old, or fifty.

A gorgeous sunrise during your morning commute, a rainbow after the storm, or a delicate flower that has fallen on the sidewalk: we acknowledge that it’s the little things that make life truly wonderful.
